00:00Islam is not a religion. It's a civilization. And this is a very significant difference because people think that under the First Amendment of the United States, that, you know, the protection, the freedom of religion means that you have the freedom to use religion to enforce and advance a political ideology, even where it means the overthrow of the existing government. And that is not the case.
00:27Islam defines itself as a civilization and religion is really part of that. But it is not the defining thing. And why does it matter so much? Well, because the civilization of Islam is governed by Sharia. And by that, I mean Sharia law.
00:43And you cannot have Sharia law coexisting with the Constitution and American law. Those two things are diametrically opposed in every single respect. They don't they're not even vaguely tied to each other. Right. And so this is so what we have allowed in the United States is we have allowed First Amendment protection.
01:05We've treated Islam as a religion is a political organization that uses the religion as a cover and as a front.
